Drill Where? Follow Up

Three years ago, I wrote about the "drill here, drill now" frenzy that had taken over the presidential campaign at that time. I called my post "Drill Where? Drill When? Drill Why?". The crux of it was that U.S. oil consumption is so high, and U.S. oil reserves are so low, that no matter how much we pull from the ground domestically, we will never make a big dent in pump prices.

I was right. Sorry. Really -- it would have been great to have been proven wrong on this one.

"Hey!", the TSA agent called to the other passengers in line, pointing at me. "This guy doesn't want us to take naked pictures of him, but he does want some guy he's never met before to feel him up!"
